Chapter 19: Showdown!Shi Di VS Adolf, the Leader of the Thieves
"The result of the second deception competition, Shi Di wins! Let's take a break for both contestants and start the last game in ten minutes!"
There was another murmur of thieves.
"I heard that kid is so clever at deception that he designed a clever scam to get those citizens to scramble to pay him within half an hour!"
"I don't know what kind of nonsense I made up with that three-inch incorruptible tongue, so that those citizens are so convinced, and now there are still people looking for him!"
"Hey, if I had half of his ability, I'm afraid I would have become the boss's adjutant a long time ago!
"Shhh
Hearing this, Di smiled, closed his eyes again, and began to think about how to use his existing props to design the mechanism, this last game is a tiebreaker, as long as he wins this one, hehe, the "Perfect Thief Essentials - Part II" will be in hand. What is recorded in it is the hidden weapon chapter and the poison refining chapter, and only after learning these two articles can you be regarded as a complete thief
Shi Di gently opened his cowhide bag and reconfirmed the props he had now: he had bought three Variety Keys, a long metal pliers, a long clip, a small hand saw, and a small hammer in the grocery store, a pack of armor spikes at the armor store, a bottle of poppy milk that could make the poisoned person lose consciousness immediately, and a bottle of tansy that could temporarily deactivate the poisoned person, plus the spring needle punch and small wrenches, ropes and other ordinary tools he brought out from Caesar City. By the way, there's also his homemade super all-purpose gel "DD44" and a poisonous mist array that was dismantled before entering Edla's gloomy cavern.
What kind of mechanism can be designed with these things to stumble a thief like Adolf?Blinding him with the Poison Mist Array? No, he knows that there is a mechanism there, so he will scout the surroundings carefully, and the Poison Mist Array will soon be discovered and dismantled. Well, he'll scout closely!
Shi Di's eyes lit up, and he obviously came up with a good idea to deal with Adolf, and a familiar smile tugged at the corner of his mouth.
"It's time to rest! Please follow our guide to the two rooms prepared to start arranging the mechanism, please complete the arrangement of the mechanism within half an hour, because of the particularity of this game, the process of arranging the mechanism will be unmonitored, the two of you will return here after arranging the mechanism and wait for the time to end, now I announce the countdown to the mechanism competition, three, two, one, start!"
Ten minutes later, Shi Di returned to the waiting area and began to close his eyes leisurely and recuperate.
"This kid has set up the mechanism so quickly, is he really a master of the mechanism?"
"It's not impossible to think about his performance in the trick competition just now!"
"Alas, the boss hasn't come out for twenty minutes, and it's hanging now!"
The thieves looked at Shi Di with some admiration, they felt that this young man's strength was simply unfathomable, no wonder the boss looked at him differently.
"Well, old Tom, is it okay to raise that kid now?"
"Go, go, go, how long has it been since the game started and you came here to raise, why did you go in the first place?" Old Tom refused, staring at the mountain of gold in front of him, his eyes shining greedily, as if it was already in his pocket.
As the thirty-minute time limit approached, Adolf returned to the waiting area.
"Very good, now that the two contestants have completed their traps, please go to the room where the other party has just set up the trap under the guidance of the leader, and find a way to avoid the trap and enter the house after hearing me shout "start" below, and the one who enters the house first wins!"
"Let's go!"
Let's start with Adolf.
Adolf first scouted the house several times around the door, but found nothing out of the ordinary.
It seems that this mechanism is not outside the door, I am afraid that it is inside, Adolf thought.
He put on his gloves again to check the doorknob, and it didn't seem to be anything out of the ordinary, and he tried to twist the lock, intending to flee as soon as something was wrong, but the lock was opened. Yes, the mechanism must be in the house, and you must find a way to remove it before pushing the door in.
Adolf was about to let go, but found that his gloves had been firmly glued to the doorknob and could not be removed at all, knowing that this was Shi Di smeared some kind of super glue on it, and he couldn't help but laugh dumbly, after all, he was a child, and thought that this kind of prank would work for a thief like him.
He smiled and shook his head, intending to remove the glove, when a slight tingling pain passed through the glove into his fingers as he pushed back.
Oh no, hit! This was Adolf's last moment of consciousness before he fell into a coma.
It turned out that Shi Di knew how cautious Adolf would be when facing an obviously dangerous environment as an experienced thief, so he played an empty plan.
He deliberately did not place any mechanism outside the door, giving Adolf the illusion that the mechanism must be inside the house, so that when Adolf found that the door lock could be easily opened, he would not rush to push the door. By this time, Adolf had already found himself glued to the handle, and as a thief, his first instinct would be to take off his gloves to relieve himself, and when he pushed back, the fun came, and he would trigger the thin spring needle installed on the doorknob, which was quenched with poppy milk, enough for him to sleep for a while.
In fact, if Adolf had pushed the door directly after twisting the lock, he would have found that there was nothing behind the door, and he could have easily won. But what big thief would be so careless, after all, everyone believes that when things go wrong, there must be demons.
Let's take a look at Shi Di's side.
Adolf didn't set any traps, but directly designed an extremely complex mechanism on the door lock, Shi Di searched and searched, but never found the method of dismantling this mechanism, it seems that he can only honestly unravel the mechanism.
The unlocking principle of that mechanism has been seen on the "Perfect Thief Essential Book", it is also a kind of spiritual power lock, and the whole mechanism is composed of many dotted small mechanisms, and there are several spiritual power lines between these small mechanisms, and these spiritual power lines form a complete closed pattern. When unlocking, you need to use your fingers to press these small mechanisms in turn according to the pattern composed of spiritual power lines, and when the entire pattern is spliced, the spiritual power lock will be automatically lifted.
At first glance, it seems very simple, but in fact, it is not, because every time two small mechanisms are pressed, the spiritual power line will float, and the lockpicker can only press a small mechanism in other directions, and the entire route of the mechanism cannot be repeated, otherwise it will be locked directly, which means that the lockpicker must think clearly about the path of the mechanism before unlocking, and there can be no mistakes.
The problem is that this mechanism designed by Adolf has 25 small mechanisms, and there are as many as 48 spiritual power lines, forming a very complex shape, which is to directly delay time and win time!
Shi Di didn't have time to complain, he could only honestly stare at those spiritual power locks, and keep calculating the method of unlocking them on the ground.
Time passed quickly.
Finally, Shi Di explored a set of pressing methods that could smoothly unlock the spiritual power lock, and after demonstrating it twice and feeling that there was indeed no problem, Shi Di began to quickly press the small mechanism on the spiritual power lock.
Almost at the same time as Shi Di explored the method, Adolf woke up, the anesthetic effect of poppy milk varies depending on the human constitution, and a big thief like Adolf will not be affected for long. As soon as he woke up, Adolf realized that he had fallen for Shi Di's trick, and hurriedly went to unlock the door again.
After Shi Di pressed the last button, the spirit lock began to run automatically, and the pattern was lifted.
Adolf pressed the doorknob.
The spiritual power lock was successfully lifted, and Shi Di pushed the door open.
Adolf pushed forward.
"It's in!" shouted the leaders on both sides at the same time.
"This" The referee who was in charge of announcing the game procedure frowned, this time it was difficult, the two should be counted as a draw, according to the rule of two wins in three games, now two people win one each, so who wins the whole game?
He cleared his throat and announced the result.
"The result of the third trick match, the two are tied!"
"It's a draw?"
"So what now? That kid is still not our boss's little brother?"
"Tut-tut, it's really not easy, we can actually tie with our boss!"
There was another whisper next to him, and old Tom, who thought he could take the opportunity to make a fortune, looked desperate, alas, happiness came so short-lived, and he could fly with wings.
"Come and get your gold back, stinky boys. Old Tom said weakly.
The thieves burst into laughter.
"Adolf, now that we're tied, what should we do?, do you want to compete in another game?" Shi Di returned to the rest area and asked Adolf.
"Don't compare, hahaha, today is really happy, it's been a long time since I've had such fun!" Adolf laughed, and after laughing, he took out a book from his arms and handed it to Shi Di, "Boy, I appreciate you more and more, I have made up your mind! This book is given to you today as a meeting gift, and when you learn it, come back and try it with me!"
When Shi Di looked at the book, it was still the same inconspicuous appearance, and the crooked words on the cover were not exactly the "Perfect Thief Essentials - Part II" that he had been thinking about for a long time!
"A word is a certainty!" Shi Di took the book, and his heart was overjoyed.
At this time, it was already approaching evening, and Shi Di remembered that he still had an appointment with the Hebrew city lord, so he got up to bid farewell to Adolf, and hurried to the city lord's mansion with Tamer.
When he left, the thieves looked at him with adoring eyes, which couldn't help but make Shi Di's heart flutter.
It feels so good to be an idol, haha!
